As ICE arrests spark fear among immigrants, advocate uses speaker to inform of rights

Arrests continue in immigrant-heavy Massachusetts communities like Everett and Chelsea, with residents documenting enforcement actions on social media.
The apparent uptick in arrests comes nearly a month after President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, declared he would be “bringing hell” to Boston and other sanctuary cities.
Some in the immigrant community believe recent arrests have expanded to include undocumented immigrants without criminal records, suspecting it may be due to pressures from the president to meet daily quotas of about 1,500 arrests.

Law enforcement agents were captured on video again Thursday morning, this time after stopping a van and arresting several people on Union street at the Chelsea-Everett line.
A woman from El Salvador agreed to speak to NBC10 Boston, asking to conceal her identity and that of her brother, whom she said was among the people arrested.
She said her brother, who does not have a legal status, has no criminal record.
As immigration officials continue to make arrests in Boston, hundreds of advocates and immigrants gathered at the Massachusetts State House.
Lucy Pineda is the executive director of the immigrant advocacy group Latinos Unidos En Massachusetts — or LUMA — in Everett.
She explains how she plans to make it harder for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to find their targets by blasting messages down the street using speakers and megaphones, informing people of their rights.
“They’re trying to intimidate our community, and we can see it,” Pineda said. “They don’t just arrest people with criminal history, they arrest people who don’t have no legal documents, they don’t have no [criminal] records in the country.”
Pineda said a lot of what’s been seen and reported in neighboring communities this week is also happening in her city.
“What I think you’re seeing right now is the beginning of what Tom Homan said he was going to do,” said former Bristol County Sheriff Tom Hodgson.
The Trump campaign advisor said he hopes recent enforcement operations can encourage people to seek a legal way into the country.
“It’s about upholding the rule of law,” he said. “We can’t pick and choose for ourselves what people we think should have to abide by the law and which ones shouldn’t.”
The White House slammed the sanctuary policies of Boston and surrounding communities in a press release Thursday, highlighting recent arrests by ICE of immigrants who have been charged with — but not convicted of — a range of crimes, including child rape and organized crime.

Boston weather: Downpours, warmer weather to kick off the week

Boston will see several warmer days and bouts of rain in the coming week, according to National Weather Service forecasts.
“(Monday) we’ve got a warm front that’s going to cross the area,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Hayden Frank. “Temperatures will be back into the 60s (Monday), and the main thing is late (Monday), there may be a few showers from time to time during the day, but it’s mainly during the evening that we expect widespread showers, perhaps some thunder and brief downpours across the area.”
Throughout the week, the greater Boston area is expected to see varied temperatures throughout the and some possible precipitation.
The high Monday is expected to kick off with a high of 66 degrees, NWS forecasted, with a low of 43 degrees. Patchy fog is forecasted throughout the day, returning Wednesday night.
The downpours Monday may lead to typical “ponding of water on streets, but no significant flooding or anything like that,” Frank said.
Tuesday morning the rain is expected to clear out, according to the weather service, leading to a drier period through Wednesday night.
“Temperatures may reach low 50s Tuesday, as some colder air moves in,” said Frank. “It will probably get down to freezing Tuesday night. And highs in the 40s Wednesday, with the continued dry weather.
“The next system comes in Wednesday night and Thursday, some showers,” Frank continued. “It doesn’t look like too significant or complete washout.”
Highs are expected to surge back into the high 60s Thursday and Friday, NWS forecasts. Thursday night will likely be warmer, with a low in the low 50s, and temperatures may drop back down into the 40s Friday night.
The typical high for this time of year is around 49 degrees, Frank said, but the temperatures through the coming week are “not too extreme” and “pretty typical for late March, early April.”

Boston Red Sox’ Superstar Sets Awful Record Through Team’s First Three Games

The Boston Red Sox were beaten 4-3 on Saturday by the Texas Rangers, dropping to 1-2 on the young season.
In the loss, Rafael Devers continued his first week struggles. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and has yet to record a hit.
He’s also made some unenviable history, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
Boston Red Sox DH Rafael Devers just set a major-league record by striking out 10 times in the first three games of the season.

Still just 28 years old, there’s no reason to believe that Devers won’t figure this out, but it has been a tumultuous few weeks for him. First, the Red Sox signed Alex Bregman, who has bumped Devers from third base to designated hitter. Furthermore, Devers dealt with a shoulder injury through a good portion of the spring and got a late start.
Now in his ninth season, Devers has been one of the most productive hitters in baseball over that stretch. He’s a .278 career hitter who has hit exactly 200 home runs. He has 639 RBIs.
He’s coming off a year in which he hit .272 with 28 homers and 83 RBIs. The Red Sox finished 81-81 last year but missed the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
However, the expectations are much higher this season after signing Walker Buehler and Bregman, as well as trading for Garrett Crochet.
The Red Sox and Rangers will finish out their series on Sunday afternoon at 2:35 p.m. ET. Richard Fitts, one of the Red Sox’ Top 30 prospects, will pitch against Jacob deGrom, who is making his season debut for Texas.

Boston Red Sox Reportedly in ‘Deep Talks’ with Top Prospect About Contract Extension

The Boston Red Sox lost 4-3 to the Texas Rangers on Saturday, but all might not be lost for rookie and top prospect Kristian Campbell.
Campbell hit his first major league home run in the defeat, and now he’s reportedly working on a contract extension.
Per Chris Cotillo of MassLIVE:
On the night he hit his first major league home run, Kristian Campbell and the Red Sox are in deep talks on a contract extension, according to multiple sources.

At this time, we don’t have any idea on the kind of numbers being exchanged, but considering Campbell is already under contract for six years, any deal would figure to buy out at least one or two of his possible free agent years.
Team’s will often try to lock up young players to pre-arbitration deals, but the success rate is hit or miss. The Atlanta Braves have had great success doing this, signing Ronald Acuna Jr. and Ozzie Albies to team friendly deals. Under new Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow, the Red Sox have done this with Ceddanne Rafaela and Brayan Bello both.
Campbell is the No. 7 prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline. He hit .330 last year in the minor leagues, only appearing in 19 games at the Triple-A level before earning his major league call-up this year.
The Red Sox are 1-2 on the young season and will finish out the series with the Texas Rangers on Sunday afternoon at 2:35 p.m. ET. But will Campbell have a new deal before the time first pitch is thrown?
ANOTHER REHAB START: Brayan Bello, on the shelf for the Boston Red Sox, will pitch for Triple-A Worcester. Here are the details. CLICK HERE:
FORMER ALL-STAR BACK TO SEATTLE: Drew Pomeranz, 36, didn’t make the Mariners out of spring training, but he’s back in the organization on a minor league deal. CLICK HERE:
